In the “better late than never” category, Sega Superstars Tennis and Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing are finally coming to the Mac from Feral Entertainment. It’s unclear whether they’ll be shipped together or separate. Pricing and a set date have not been announced either. At least we know All-Stars Racing will be have online multiplayer which is more than we can say about the PC version. Here’s a statement from Sega’s press release.
Feral Interactive today announced that Sonic the Hedgehog and over 25 other fan-favorite SEGA characters are coming to the Mac this summer! Developed by Sumo Digital Ltd. and published by SEGA for consoles and PC, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and SEGA Superstars Tennis will bring the world’s speediest blue hedgehog to the Mac for the very first time.
A star-studded line-up including Doctor Eggman, Tails, Shadow the Hedgehog, Alex Kidd and Super Monkey Ball’s Aiai will battle it out not only in single player and split-screen multiplayer modes, but also online using Apple’s Game Center technology, a feature of the next version of Mac OS X, Mountain Lion.
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing sees Sonic and friends race cars, motorbikes and even a “bananamobile” across crazily inventive tracks inspired by the incredible worlds of the SEGA games. Players must find secret shortcuts and use hilarious power-ups to give them the edge, making Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing an exhilarating ride for family, friends and online challengers.
SEGA Superstars Tennis pits classic SEGA characters against each other across four smashing (geddit?) tournaments on totally outrageous tennis courts. Players can also put their racket skills to the test in twisted minigames inspired by classic SEGA titles such as House of the Dead, Space Harrier and Super Monkey Ball.

Awesome news 😀 Will definitely have to pick up All Stars Racing! Hope it’s coming to the Mac App Store. Going to keep an eye on this!
Sweet! 😀
I hope this release supports the GeForce 9400M and isn’t a port of the iOS version.
I have this game for the PC, but it’s pretty boarding playing offline against the CPU. Back when I had a PS3 console I remember playing this game online was the most fun I’ve ever had. If there is enough of an online presence for this game in the Mac community then I will definitely be buying it, although the online functionality of Transformers (or whatever it’s called now) may render online play on this Mac edition as obsolete.

LMFAO
People could just get a REAL Computer? XD JK! Hurray for all!
Just when I get bootcamp to work. Lol, doesn’t matter. More games for mac os is always welcomed in my book.
Superstars Tennis is like… One of my favourites. It’s addictive, lets you play as familiar faces and offers a challenge that you can never master, which means fun forever in my eyes XD
Wish they’d make a sequel of it.
